I don't know anything about the GS065 or the TB3.
I just got a new Yaesu GS050 in the mail today, ordered
for a real light duty application. It is a piece of junk,
light pot metal, sloppy tolerances, and only fit a 2-inch
mast after a liberal application of a file (lucky it's
made out of soft pot metal!). Looks like a candidate to
fill with water and freeze up during the winter.
At $32 retail it sounded like a bargain, but it is
*way* overpriced!
